With its influence on accountability, accuracy, and tighter project oversight, Earned Value Management (EVM) offers great potential for better managing capital construction. But getting it right matters – even a 1% variance in percent complete can significantly affect project forecasts.

Bid too high, lose the job. Bid too low, lose your margins. What's a profit-minded, growth-oriented company to do?
Join our conversation with Quanta Services' Jody Greer, Director of Estimating & Project Controls, to hear how Quanta modernized its estimating work to balance their win rare with accuracy and scale their estimating function in a fast-paced environment.
You'll learn first-hand the details of how they transformed their estimating process, including during their acquisition of operating units, allowing them to expand into new international markets. In short, how they learned to bid it like they build it, and how you can too.
Key Learning Objectives:
- Standardizing estimating processes for growth without losing expertise and autonomy across your operating units
- Gaining complete control of your cost breakdown structure, i.e., estimating based on actual work procedures that are used to do the job
- Meeting customer bid requirements on your terms, giving your clients what they need without giving up your proprietary data and maintaining your estimating process
- Enhancing the accuracy of your estimating team while increasing their productivity
- Embracing the right "bid it-built it" technology, increasing confidence and improving hit ratio
In an industry proudly rooted in tradition, a positive transformative force is emerging — artificial intelligence (AI). "How To Unleash AI’s Potential in Construction" is a thought-provoking two-part webinar series that illuminates a practical, real-world path to harnessing AI's potential within a skeptical construction landscape.
In part one of this intriguing webinar series, join InEight’s Rob Bryant, K.P Reddy of Shadow Ventures, Salla Eckhardt of OAC, and Samaneh Zolfagharian of Yegatech as they embark on a journey into the world of AI's truly boundless possibilities in construction.
Our panel will tackle the challenge of preparing an industry that hasn't fully grasped the value of AI. They'll examine the realm of AI's practical applications, shatter skepticism, and provide a roadmap for achieving AI readiness.
In this webinar, you’ll learn about:
- The current state of AI in construction
- How real-world applications are impacting project efficiency and productivity
- How to uncover AI's untapped potential
- The importance of data quality and connected systems in ensuring AI's success and industry relevance
In an industry steeped in tradition, we are on the cusp of an exciting, AI-driven transformation. Join us for part two of this provocative webinar series as we examine AI's potential within a cautious construction landscape. Explore how current research is reshaping perceptions, propelling AI from skepticism to strategic advantage. See how advanced data integration fuels AI's capabilities and unlocks the doors to precise scope, cost, and schedule management.
InEight’s Rob Bryant returns as moderator for part two. He will be joined by Ajoy Bhattacharya of Microsoft, Dr. Ali Khaloo of Aren, and Professor Eduard Hovy of Melbourne Connect as they discuss real-world success stories on leveraging AI’s power.
In this webinar, you’ll learn:
- How current research is altering traditional perceptions and paving the way for AI’s acceptance in construction.
- How advanced data integration empowers AI and propels it toward a revolutionary new level of project management.
- Steps to harness AI’s capabilities and foster growth within a traditionally skeptical construction sector.
It’s becoming even more challenging to successfully deliver on increasingly complex construction projects. So, how best can these challenges be met head on? Join this AACE partner webinar as we explore how industry leaders are achieving unparalleled levels of visibility, control and collaboration through an integrated project controls platform. Embark on a transformative journey where historical project data becomes a valuable knowledge library and accelerates the productivity of even the newest project team members.
In this presentation, you will:
- Discover the strategies for consistently delivering superior project outcomes
- Gain insights into the industry trends driving the need for more collaborative project controls software
- Learn how consolidating disparate systems leads to more effective project control and execution
- Understand the importance of creating risk-adjusted plans to mitigate costly rework
